After completing the usual procedures of kicking off a business, it was then time to look into the matter of corporate logo design. One important lesson I’ve learned when it comes to company logos is that it is very common for busy business people to make a judgment call based on appearance. Therefore, a corporate logo design should say as much as possible about a business or product.

Realizing this, the next thing to do was to search for an experienced logo design agency to create a professional logo design that would help relay all the values my company stands for. Having said that, I was not on the lookout for a traditional custom logo designer due to my budget and time limitations, but neither was I looking for a novice. Fortunately, the internet is brimming with logo design firms whose work is relatively good.

After searching the web and analyzing around 30 different design agencies, I noticed and learned a few things. One of the very first things I learned was always read the small print. A number of sites display attractive headlines and prices but not known to many, they also come with terms and conditions. Do not fall for these traps. Listed here are 3 of the most common ones.

Too few Revisions

Quite a few sites display distinctly ridiculous low charges for their creative services but a deeper look would uncover the catch. Certain low price packages only come with a maximum of 2 free revisions or fewer. If the designer does not produce something that is to your liking within this period, you could possibly end up having to fork out extra until you end up getting what you want. To be sure that you avoid this mess, always search for deals with an acceptable number of free revisions or a full money back guarantee.

Price Displayed Only Includes Preliminary Designs

Quite a few logo design companies use this little trick as a way to generate a little extra money from many unsuspecting customers. The displayed amount only extends to preliminary designs and does not include the final logos designs. Customers would probably have to foot extra if they need the finalized design. You can side step this situation by making certain that the price listed includes ownership of the confirmed design.

High Resolution Files

This is yet another manner certain logo design companies trap you when you do not expect it. This time, the price displayed comprises everything from the preliminary concept designs to the finalized corporate logo design. The catch is the price does not include hi-res files. You will discover that high resolution files are necessary for printing purposes especially for company stationary such as name cards and letterheads.

Do not get carried away with the low charges tabled by certain logo design firms. If you reckon it is too good to be true then it probably is. Do some groundwork just to be on the safe side.

From the 30 or so design agencies I looked at, many of them displayed prices ranging from $50 to $500 for their design services. I selected the one that costs around $70. It not at all difficult to find a professional logo design agency that’s not out to scheme you. Just use the tips listed above and you should be okay.
